Call a workers compensation lawyer to discuss your on-the-job injury. Insurance companies will try to find a reason to deny or delay your claim and shortchange you on the full benefits to which you are entitled. We can help you take action when you are out of commission due to:



A workers compensation lawyer can help you understand your rights, which is important because not knowing state laws can result in delayed or denied benefits. Most employers with more than four employees are required to carry insurance, and it is intended to pay for medical care and lost wages. However, getting the full amount is not always easy. Insurance is a big business that watches out for its own bottom line.

Our workers compensation lawyer believes that it is up to an employer to establish safety procedures and to provide a safe environment. Report an injury immediately to your supervisor. This gets the claim process in motion. To file a claim, your injury must meet two broad requirements: They must be caused by an accident and they must result from actions or incidents that result from the job.

• Accidental – This means an unintentional, unusual or unexpected occurrence. It does not cover the emotional stress of a job.
• Job related – This limits you to what occurs as a necessary part of performing your job. Insurance companies may not cover pre-existing conditions or wrongful actions on your part. This includes failure to perform your job according to proscribed safety standards, and negligent actions including intoxication and horseplay. However, off-site or after-hours functions like company picnics are covered if you were required to take part.

You may not think you need a workers compensation lawyer because some injuries seem minor. However, there may be hidden symptoms or related problems that flare up later. Will these be covered? Will you be able to prove that what happened was job-related?

This is where a workers compensation lawyer can help. Our firm has spent more than 25 years successfully helping good, honest workers win the full amount they need to:

• Restore their health
• Treat their injuries
• Stay on the job
• Gain the appropriate level of disability benefits
• Not worry about paying medical bills out of pocket

Temporary total disability benefits kick in if a doctor, approved by your employer, determines you cannot work for 7 days following the injury. If you are deemed unable to work for 14 days, benefits begin the day after the injury was reported. If you do not fully recover, you may be eligible for permanent partial disability, which pays two-thirds of your gross average salary for the previous year. Talk to a workers compensation lawyer for free if you have questions about benefits.
